Motorola Israel (wholly owned by Motorola USA) is another company that directly profits off of the war crimes of the Israeli occupation. It is the first branch outside of the USA where Motorola has operated and has been in Israel since the ethnic cleansing of 1948. Although it sold one of its units that was directly creating bomb fusers for the Israeli army (a reason for this move was not given) after Motorola serial numbers were discovered in the aftermath of Operation Cast Lead by Human Rights Watch-- it is still heavily invested in the Israeli army, most infamously including its design for an IDF cellular network known as "Mountain Rose". Even after selling its GED (Government Electronics Department), Motorola has continued to work with the Israeli army in their technological development, making suggestions and more.
